indigenous metaverse receives funding to create experiential education
Biskaabiiyaang today announced an investment of $40,000 from York University’s Academic Innovation Fund to support the design of an Indigenous-led metaverse delivering Anishinaabe language and First Nation cultural competency programs within a virtual world. Using immersive quests, activities, and learning games, Biskaabiiyaang aims to increase the number of Anishinaabemowin second-language speakers over the next decade.
